One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"What happens next is none of your business. Hibari, Law, listen to me. Once we reach Mangrove Area 40, you two stay by the sea and don't go anywhere until Tina arrives."

As he sped along, Luo Xia spoke softly.

Upon hearing his explanation, Hibari and Luo, who had been somewhat listless, were instantly jolted.

Luo shouted in a deep voice, "Luo Xia! What do you want to do? Don't do anything reckless!"

“Brother Rorschach, do you want to… No, if anything happens to a Celestial Dragon, the World Government will be furious.”

"It's so urgent," said the lark anxiously.

“You don’t need to persuade me. I’ve thought through all the consequences.” Rorschach’s gaze was firm. “Only by doing this will the Grand Line, centered on the Sabaody Archipelago, undergo a tremendous change. The Celestial Dragons, who are high and mighty, need to shed blood before they will give up more power to our Navy.”

"Don't do anything foolish! The deaths of a few of those disgusting scum won't solve anything; they might even cost you your life!"

Luo's voice was already trembling.

"Are you an idiot? What did I tell you before? This world can't be changed by killing a few spoiled brats, Rorschach! Wake up! You have a much brighter future ahead of you! There's no need to let a moment of passion..."

"It wasn't just a momentary impulse!"

Luo Xia looked at his two friends, whom he had captured, with an unusually serious expression.

"This decision wasn't made on a whim, Luo, Hibari."

"I ask you, if you were in the shoes of a Celestial Dragon and had that brief experience, what would you think?"

"Is this the time to talk about this? You're staying with us in Mangrove Zone 40, and you're not going anywhere!" Luo's voice became stern.

“Tell me! I’d love to know your opinion on the Celestial Dragons. I asked Rayleigh that question before.”

With a flick of his right shoulder, an invisible current bound the three pirates, dangling them into an inland river channel before releasing them and letting them fall into the sea, slowly sinking.

Hibari, her head tilted back and cradled in Luo Xia's left arm, stared blankly at the boy's profile. She pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red, and said:

"I... I think the Celestial Dragons are rotten to the core and must be eradicated."

"Hmm, anything else?" Luo Xia gave Hibari an encouraging look, signaling him to continue.

“Brother Luo Xia, Luo, as you have probably seen, along the way, how the guards, the commoners, the nobles, the merchants, and the slave traders have treated us.”

There was fear, envy, longing, and flattery.

"But there was no reverence, no love, no trust, no comfort."

As Yun Que spoke, she remembered the red-haired girl who had died before her eyes.

The thought that the other person would rather die than be saved by Charlos made him realize that...

That unyielding attitude and determination deeply impacted the young skylark's mind.

"Such a ruler has no reason to exist. No one would be happy under such a rule. Because in the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, we are just pigs and dogs, just ants, just trash, just slaves."

"That's so well said, Lark! You see things very clearly! Excellent."

Rorschach nodded approvingly.

Then he looked at Luo and asked, "Luo, what about you? Do you have a different opinion?"

“The Celestial Dragons are indeed disgusting creatures,” Luo said in a deep voice. “But even though they are such disgusting and incompetent guys, no matter how arrogant and domineering they are, no matter how much they belittle and humiliate those people, not a single person has the courage to stand up and fight back. That’s the most crucial point.”

“Those derelict guards would rather kneel on the ground and wait to die than dare to attempt to escape.”

“Those people from all walks of life who were kneeling down were called trash and slaves to your face, and not one of them complained in the slightest.”

"Even the legendary pirate Rayleigh, who was forced to kneel by you, didn't dare to kill you."

"This shows that no matter how arrogant and incompetent the Celestial Dragons are, the vast majority of people in this world still fear them."

"This fear is deeply ingrained in my bones and has become an instinct."

"Perhaps only a naive child like Nisa, or even an idiot, would dare to rebel against them."

"This is the fundamental reason why the world has never been able to change."

After listening to Luo's words, Luo Xia pondered for a long time before nodding in deep agreement.

"Luo, you see things very clearly too. You've both grasped the essence of the problem. Heh, let me ask you a question..."

"Do you know when the last time the Celestial Dragons suffered a major bloodshed?"

Law raised an eyebrow. "Are you talking about the incident where Doflamingo killed his father?"

"Of course not, why are you still thinking about that Doflamingo guy? Wasn't it satisfying enough to hear him call me godfather just now?"

Rorschach chuckled slightly.

Luo laughed, "That was certainly satisfying. It's a pity we can't let him know the truth, otherwise I really want to see what kind of expression he would have."

"That's enough. I even tricked him into sending someone to solve the problem. Hehe, he'll probably lose another capable subordinate. He has no idea what this beautiful place, Chambord, will become in the next few days."

Luo Xia sneered, "Don't even mention him sending his top officials. Even if he came in person, he'd be skinned alive!"

“Brother Rorschach, I might know the answer to the question you asked.”

Suddenly, the lark's weak voice rang out.

"Oh? Does Lark know?" Rorschach looked over with a smile.

Seeing that Luo Xia and Luo Du were looking at her, Yun Que blushed a little.

"You're probably referring to the God Valley Incident that happened 32 years ago."

"The God Valley Incident? What's that?" Luo asked curiously.

“It’s normal that you don’t know about that big event.” Yun Que held Luo Xia’s left arm and continued, “After all, that event involves too many things, and any one of them being exposed would be enough to cause a huge uproar.”

"About 32 years ago, before the old era, a super criminal named Rocks D. Xebec brazenly attacked the Fugaran family, one of the nineteen Celestial Dragons, causing the most heinous bloodshed in history."

"Although it is unclear exactly how many Celestial Dragons died in that attack."

"Just by looking at the multiple forces involved in the war, we can get a glimpse of how serious the matter is."

"The forces participating in the war include the Navy led by Grandpa Garp, the Pirate King Roger, and the God Knights, known as the Shield of the Celestial Dragons. They join forces to fight against the strongest and most ferocious Rocks Pirates in history."

"After that battle, the island where God Valley was located was completely wiped off the map."

A look of deep shock appeared on Luo's face, but there was also a hint of doubt.

"Even heroes like Garp and Roger are joining the battle? And who is this Rocks Pirates? Are they really that powerful?"

"In fact, the reason why Grandpa Garp is called a hero is because he successfully stopped the Rocks Pirates' attack in that battle."

"And the Rocks Pirates..."

Hibari took a deep breath. "It was the most powerful pirate crew on the seas before the Pirate King Roger. I don't know exactly how powerful it was. But many of the famous pirates who came after were basically solo operators after the Rocks Pirates disintegrated."

"For example, Edward Newgate, one of the Four Emperors."

"Captain of the Flying Pirates, Shiki the Golden Lion."

"Captain of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido."

"Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin."

"The Great Pirate King".

"There are many, many more, all of them are terrifying pirates."

Luo was so shocked by Yun Que's words that he was speechless.

With so many great pirates, any one of them could easily beat Doflamingo, whom he considers his lifelong enemy, half to death.

If the Rocks Pirates hadn't disbanded, what would have been Roger's role in the future?

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Luo Xia coughed, drawing the attention of the two of them.

"Hibari is right. The incident at 32 taught the Celestial Dragons, who were high and mighty, a painful lesson, which triggered a world-class change."

"The massive Rocks Pirates suffered a blow, were reshuffled, and fell apart."

"As a result, the navy rose to prominence and cultivated generation after generation of elite marines."

"More than 30 years have passed since then. Pirate King Roger has started the Great Pirate Era, which has made pirates rampant once again."

"In contrast, our navy has made almost no significant progress in the past twenty years. In the fight against pirates, we even have to establish a legal pirate system like the Seven Warlords of the Sea to strengthen our opponents and counterbalance other pirate forces."

"This is absolutely ridiculous."

Rorschach shook his head. "It's only because the pirates are not united. Otherwise, they could use this to turn the tables on us. After they've grown stronger by using us, they could then turn around and join the ranks of those great pirates in the New World. Wouldn't our actions then be considered aiding the enemy?"

"Over the years, the power of pirates has grown stronger and stronger, and the Revolutionary Army has also lit up the flames of justice all over the world. Only our Navy is still living off its past achievements and relying on the older generation of strongmen to uphold the banner of justice."

His eyes shone with an intimidating light.

"It's time to make a change and put a sudden stop to this increasingly prosperous era of piracy!"

"Let's teach those arrogant, forgetful gods a lesson they won't forget. Let them know that only a strong navy can give them a sense of security."

"Let those pirates see..."

"who!"

"They are the true masters of this era!"

Chapter 137 Akainu will arrive on the battlefield in five seconds.

A howling wind carried the three of them down from the sky, landing them on the grass in mangrove area number 40.

On the grass, Deckard Ban and many other pirates, who had been given a final electric shock by Rorschach when they left, were still rolling their eyes and had not woken up.

As soon as Luo Xia landed with Luo and Yun Que, before they could even stand up straight, a transparent dome covered their heads.

The next instant, his body vanished into thin air and appeared in the huge hole in the ground, plummeting towards the dark sea.

"ROOM."

Luo spread his fingers, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

A look of apology appeared on his face as he gazed at the gaping hole not far away.

"I'm sorry, but I still can't let you do something foolish."

"Brother Luo Xia!"

The lark was startled, then quickly ran towards that direction.
